After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 505

While Alterans were quietly preparing for their first war, the aborigines from the city were relaxing their hearts out. They would peruse the interesting territory, buy what they wanted, and get special treatment for their money as ’very rich customers’.

Other than this, they were also approached for advice and knowledge, and in exchange, they would also receive some purchasing tips and often a free meal here and there.

The past few days, there had been elders or positioned guards who would ask them a couple of questions, some surprisingly acute, while some were just odd but they answered anyway. _{freёwebnovel.com}

For instance, a man named Vino—the owner of Heartbreak Tavern—once asked them if they, aborigines, were generally fond of alcohol during the night.

When they said yes, he then asked if a tavern was available and would it definitely have business at all hours.

They answered him with their opinions and he looked like he was taking notes. He left after saying his polite goodbyes to them and leaving them a nice bottle of wine—which Otto really, really, liked.

Anyway, the Golds were currently in the newly opened tea house along the main East Avenue, right next to that park.

The tea house was nestled in the heart of the unique avenues, serving as the sanctuary of tranquility among the lively streets.

The exterior of the tea house was adorned by climbing ivy, its emerald leaves created a waterfall-like wall of green. It added a special ’relaxed’ feel, more so than the shops adjacent to it.

There was a special hand-carved sign bearing its name: Tea Haven, located right at the top of the building, visible from about a hundred meters away.

This shop was composed of two modules, so it had a 250 square meter floor area for each story, which allowed for a spacious area of relaxation.

The centerpiece of the ground floor was a massive wood bar adorned with beautiful ceramic teapots and bowls of dried herbs. It was then surrounded by intricately carved tables scattered across the room, topped by plush burgundy cushions.

The patrons conversed in hushed tones, dipping from delicate porcelain cups. Steam billowed from them, carrying the scent of fresh leaves and flowers.

There was a spiraling wooden staircase to the second floor to the open-air area that blurred the interior and exterior. Its upper floor also had movable walls, designed to create some private rooms as needed.

When the floor was fully opened, the entire floor opened to the overarching balcony adorned with potted plants, making it seem like there were no walls at all, as if it was a roofed elevated area to eat in the middle of the bustling activity.

There were nicely divided from the outer space by the ivy walls crawling on a specially designed mesh. There were also balustrades looking over the streets and walkways below, providing some privacy and peace, but at the same time having access to the bustle at street level.

Here, there were chaise lounges with plump cushions as well as various tables designed for comfortable use at varying chair heights.

At this time, the Golds and friends were lounging here, willingly submersed in the gentle fragrance of herbs and flowers.
